X. Wolfert, VIth Lord Van der Veer, born in 1372, succeeded his father in 1406. He had to face political difficulties from the beginning. Count Albrecht had died in December 1404. His son, who had succeeded him as Willem VI, contrary to his father, favored the always dissatisfied party of the Knights of Adventure or "Hooks" as they were called against the welfaring cities and commercial nobility, who went by the name of "Cods" or "Codfishes." The name Cod was given to the followers of Willem V and Albrecht already from their blue and silver checked uniforms, which resembled the scales of fishes. These gave to the Knights of Adventure the name of Hooks because they were always hooking and angling for some unearned increases or profits derived from the welfaring industrial population. Wolfert VI was like his fathers and the thoroughly honest Seeland Nobility a "Cod." The new Count had to be a "Hook," for he had only one daughter, who he wished to succeed him in Holland and Seeland. She, of course, had to be a "Hook" as all female rulers of those days were. If they were not the increasing commercial population would by the least resistance have proclaimed the republic. Now by professing "Hook" principles [33]she secured for herself at least the assistance of the Knights of Adventure. Willem VI, a weak man, who felt that he would not live long, secured in advance this help for his daughter by professing "Hook" principles immediately after his succession in 1405.

The leader of the commercial party in Holland was at the time Lord Jan Van Arkel, like Wolfert VI, was the leader of whole Seeland. Jan Van Arkel refused, in 1405, to swear allegiance to such a Count and the Count with his "Hooks" opened war on Cod leader in Holland. Wolfert VI kept wisely out Seeland out of the troubles in Holland. he acknowledged Willem VI, as Count, knowing that the Count could not trouble Seeland much as long as he was engaged in Holland. The Count relying upon a certain commercial jealousy which existed between Holland and Seeland thought he could win Wolfert VI and whole Seeland for the "Hook" party. he bestowed honors upon Wolfert immediately after his succession as VIth Lord Van der Veer in 1406. By charter of 6 November, 1406, he [34] confirmed him in his whole paternal inheritage (see: Van Mieris. Charterboek IV, p. 39) But the young scion of such an old and confirmed "Cod" family could not be caught by any sweet bate of the "Hooks."

As soon as Wolfert VI saw that the commercial party in Holland was faring badly in the war against the Count fear for the safety of Seeland compelled him to step in and join the forces of Jan Van Arkel. He acted too late; for Willem's troops, who could have been easily defeated by an army joined from the beginning, had thoroughly defeated the chief of the Holland Cods from 1405 to 1410 and their Seeland helpers with the rest of the scrambling army were defeated from 1410 to 1412. Wolfert VI probably died in this war in the beginning of the year 1411. (see: P.J. Blok. "Fesch" II.p.108-9). Wolfert VI had married in 1403 with Hadewich Van Borsselen, daughter of Claes Van Borsselen, Lord Van Brigdamme, who was the great grandson of Wolfert, 1st Lord Van Borsselen Van der Veer. [35] In 1411 he left one little son, Hendrick, six years old.

Wolfert V van Borselen, heer van Vere en Sandenburch.
Men is lang in het onzekere geweest uit welke der broeders van de voorgaande generatie deze Wolfert gesproten was en reeds Reygersbergh (I, blz. 216) had hierover een uitvoerige discussie.
De Rijksarchivaris in de provincie Zeeland, Mr. A. Meerkamp van Embden vond een acte van 3 Juli 1408, waarbij graaf Willem VI aan Wolfaart van Vere 1800 Engelse nobels toekent wegens schade, geleden door zijn vader heer Hendrik van Vare in zijn gevangenschap te 's Hertogenbosch (ARA Den Haag: Memoriale Bijdr, 's Hert. fol. 34). Wolfaert V blijkt dus een zoon van
heer Hanric te zijn geweest, zoals reeds Ermerins vermoedde.
Wolfaert werd in 1406 beleend (F. van Mieris IV, blz. 39) en komt nog voor in een acte van 1408, waarbij hij van heer Doudyn van Baersdorp het ambacht Synoutskarke kocht (Versl. Rijksarch. 1916, no.63; Kon. Bibl. Brussel hs. 21757 fol. 108).
Volgens Reygersbergh (II, blz.180; Béthune, blz. 392-393: 26 juni 1411) overleed hij 16 Januari 1409 en werd hij in de kapel van het slot Sandenburch begraven.
Hij huwde (v. Riemsdijk: Tresorie, blz. 306) met jkvr. Hadewych van Borselen (uit de tak van de heren van Brigdamme, zie aldaar) en won bij haar vier kinderen.
Na zijn dood was er kwestie on zake de voogdij van hun zoon, waarover de graaf uitspraak moest doen (F. van Mieris IV, blz. 190 en 193).
